Prayer for the Dying Songtext
von Seal

Da-da, da-da
Ah, oh-oh, oh

Fearless people
Careless needle
Harsh words spoken
And lives are broken

Forceful aging
Help me, I′m fading
Heaven's waiting
It′s time to move on

Crossing that bridge
With lessons I've learned
Playing with fire
And not getting burned

I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space between me and you

Life carries on
It goes on


Just say die, and that would be pessimistic
In your mind, we can walk across water
Please don′t cry, it′s just a prayer for the dying
I just don't know what′s got into me

Been crossing that bridge
With lessons I've learned
Playing with fire
And not getting burned

I may not know what you′re going through
But time is the space between me and you
There is a light through that window
Hold on, say yes, while people say no

Life carries on, oh-oh
It goes on, whoa-whoa, oh-oh

I'm crossing that bridge
With lessons I′ve learned
I'm playing with fire
And not getting burned

I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space between me and you
There is a light through that window
Hold on, say yes, while people say no


′Cause life carries on
It goes on and goes on, whoa, whoa

Life carries on
When nothing else matters
When nothing else matters
I just don′t know what's got into me
It′s just a prayer for the dying
For the dying
